Liz Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 Anybody have any comments on this grey paper? Is it watermarked?
photosave Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 Hi Liz, Give Stuart from Independant Photo Supplies in Sydney a call. They monitor a number of labs - some of which have been using the Lucky paper. I believe that there are a variety of 'types' - some better than others. He'll be able to explain in more detail. Chris
slade Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 Hi, I do quality monitoring for Independent Photo Supplies and have experience with labs that have used Lucky paper. The Lucky paper currently imported into Australia uses old technology emulsions. Using it in any lab severely degrades the processing performance. Initially it may look OK but print quality declines over time: You need to increase replenishment rates significantly to maintain chemical activity. David(davidslade.com.au)
Liz Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Posted January 18, 2007 MMmmm! Thanks for your comments. Sounds a bit dicey and I have enough headaches. Heard a whisper it was rebadged Kodak.
bigfoot Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 Kodak owns 20% of Lucky Corp. There's a emulsion using Kodak formula(not sure which specific paper type), but it is limited in which country it is exported to. Its called the SA10 emulsion I think.
Keith1420 Posted April 19, 2007 Report Posted April 19, 2007 hi dear everyone,if you are not satisfied with currently paper,why not come to me to try our brand new paper which also made in japan.
johncord Posted April 19, 2007 Report Posted April 19, 2007 just info I got the message that KODAK is cutting out from paper manufacturing in china
Mr Noritsu Posted April 19, 2007 Report Posted April 19, 2007 Does that mean they are contracting another company to make it for them? Surely Kodak could not stop paper manufacturing as china is supposed to be their biggest plant.
NeilT Posted April 19, 2007 Report Posted April 19, 2007 just info I got the message that KODAK is cutting out from paper manufacturing in china Intresting ?
photosave Posted April 19, 2007 Report Posted April 19, 2007 We know they own a share of Lucky but perhaps they will end up contracting all manufacturing to them? When EVERY other company is moving their manufacturing there I can't understand why Kodak would be pulling out (although Kodak's logic has been very questionable in the past!) Is this the indicator that they are exiting photo paper - after all they have reduced their chemistry manufacturing significantly, and doesn't this come from China too?
Colopt Posted April 19, 2007 Report Posted April 19, 2007 Perhaps they are going to sub-contract all manufacturing and just concentrate on "managing their brand" as seems to be the fashion these days.
